Tantalum is a gray, heavy, and very hard metal. When pure it is ductile, and can be drawn into fine wires (then used in filaments for evaporating elements such as aluminum). Tantalum is used to make a variety of alloys with desirable properties, such as high melting point, hardness, or good ductility.Tantalum also has good "gettering" properties at high temperatures, and its oxide forms stable films with good rectifying and dielectric properties.Tantalum is almost non-reactive at temperatures below 150 degrees Celsius. At higher temperatures it is much more reactive, and its melting point is exceeded only by Tungsten and Rhenium. It is attacked only by acidic solutions containing the fluoride ion (such as hydrofluoric acid), free sulphur trioxide, and (slowly) by alkalis.
